atmosphere, as a gravity current, pyroclastic currents are subject to gravitational pull toward the surface. Gravity is counterbalanced by the fluid forces associated with the turbulent processes within the current. This turbulence is courtesy of pyroclastic currents being a heterogeneous mixture. Made up of condensed volcanic matter and hot gas, pyroclastic flows are heterogeneous in their chemical composition. As a result,
